Thanks to personalised tuition from a dedicated Lionheart 7+ tutor, we take the stress out of the 7+ school entrance tests and instill your child with the confidence they need in every key area of assessment.
Experienced 7 Plus Tutors
Tuition that makes a difference
Lionheart tutors know exactly what it takes to prepare your child for the 7+ school entrance test and interview. Our experienced tutors empower your child to tackle a wide range of problems in both English and Maths, as well as verbal and non-verbal reasoning.
Many of our 7 Plus tutors have years of experience in primary education, working to prepare children for Year 3. They have an in-depth knowledge of what is required and are able to translate that into precise, engaged 7 Plus tuition.
What our 7+ tuition covers
We provide tailored support for your child across all of the major components of the 7+ process, including:
It’s important to note that academic preparation needs to be balanced with reasoning and social skills, as school admissions are looking for well-rounded children rather than those who excel in one aspect of life.
Aim for multiple sessions before the 7 Plus so your child can be properly assessed by the tutor, and a game plan can be created to work from to achieve success.
Get your child ready for the 7+ with a professional tutor
We’re here to help families take the stress out of your child’s first formal admissions process with an expert 7 Plus (7+) tutor, whether you wish to have in-person tuition or an online tutor.
The papers and testing at this stage aren’t too much of a challenge for the average Year 2 child, but the format can vary from school to school. Different educational establishments have different priorities, and even though the basics like English and Maths are tested, as well as reasoning, the interview and group assessments can carry a lot of weight.
Preparation with a 7+ tutor covers all aspects of the process for Year 3 entry into an independent school from a qualified tutor who has extensive knowledge of the process which enables them to guide your child.
Lionheart Education tutors build confidence with children, strengthening their skills whilst bringing calm and order to the process. 7 Plus tutoring helps parents to know that their child is secure in the basics of numeracy, literacy, and reasoning before the test, and it also gives families a sense of what they can expect from the process.

For many families, the 7+ might be the first time they are navigating independent education for their child, so it’s natural to be unsure of what to expect. In addition to instructing your child, parents are also kept in the loop about what they need to know, and that preparation can make all the difference for highly competitive schools.
With the personalised 7 Plus preparation that we offer, every experience is adapted to the child and the school placement they are aiming for, which means we go the extra mile to study exactly what it is school admissions are looking for. We’ve been working with families in London and across the UK since 1989, matching tutors with students and delivering bespoke one-to-one tuition.
